60 Years of Scientific Excellence

When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.

Charity Ratings

Not all charities are equal. Before choosing to donate to an organization, it's wise to research first how your charitable investment will be spent. There are a number of online resources to help make the process easier. Charity "watchdogs" like Charity Navigator, CharityWatch, GuideStar, and the Better Business Bureau, all publish reports on annual charity spending. It's an easy way to check how much an organization spends on its programs versus overhead expenses, and can help you gauge a charity's financial health.

CRI consistently receives exemplary marks from these and other watchdog groups:

Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most utilized evaluator of charities, rates CRI 4 out of 4 stars.

CharityWatch, formerly known as the American Institute of Philanthropy, gives CRI an 'A' grade—CRI is one out of only a handful of cancer charities to receive this distinction, and is the only highly-rated charity dedicated to cancer immunology.

GuideStar has listed Cancer Research Institute as a valued partner in the GuideStar Exchange Partners in Trust program, and provides easy access to the information most donors want to know about a charity, including financials, program impact, leadership, governance policies, and more.
